Water doesn't "trickle down" from the few very large oceans up rivers &amp; streams to irrigate crops &amp; feed populations. That comes from the millions of tiny streams in the hills &amp; mountains. <br>But to do that, they need rain. (I.e. public infrastructure investment, good minimum wage, <a href="https://mstdn.io/tags/UBI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UBI</span></a>, etc.). <br>The excess will always "trickle"—or flow, even— into the oceans anyway.</p>
